Welcome to Wuhan!
Business Traveller India|December 2016 - January 2017

Industry is thriving in the largest city in central China, finds Tamsin Cocks.

Tamsin Cocks
Welcome to Wuhan!

As first impressions go, the “seven-star” Wanda Reign Wuhan’s “Imperial Welcome” service was definitely memorable. Two tuxedo-clad chauffeurs greeted me at Wuhan Tianhe International airport in a sleek black Bentley replete with seat massagers, WiFi and a jazz playlist. The 25km drive to the city centre took only half an hour thanks to ring roads that provided congestion-free passage. The luxury arrival set a high standard, but the city continued to impress.

Divided by the Yangtze and Han rivers, Wuhan has long been an important inland port for both Chinese and foreign merchants, and boasts stunning colonial architecture alongside striking modern sculptural edifices. Hundreds of surrounding lakes add natural beauty, while 3,500 years of history provide plenty of cultural interest. Meanwhile, commercial areas, shopping hotspots and entertainment outlets show that the city continues to thrive today.
